Ronaldo appeared on CNN en Espanol with Andres Oppenheimer. When Oppenheimer dared to ask the highest-paid soccer superstar about the scandals surrounding FIFA — particularly the revolting civil rights violations in prospective World Cup host Qatar — Ronaldo offered a concise reply.
“Speak about FIFA? I don’t care about FIFA and Qatar,” the Real Madrid star told Oppenheimer. “I don’t give a f—.”
Ronaldo then stormed off the set, promptly ending that stop on his Nike promotional tour. Perhaps they should offer him this advice:
When someone asks you to speak to the biggest issues concerning soccer, you have two options: You can appear callous to the plight of migrant workers and ignorant to the issues in your sport.
Or you can just do it.
